    07:30 that's a very common confusion in India. Whenever we had to go outside for lunch or dinner, we used to say let's go to a hotel, hotel is very commonly used in India as for a place to eat. Maybe this started out in the beginning as all the resto owners named their restaurants as hotels, and people ended up calling restaurants as hotels, including me!

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  7 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Yes, I figured it was exactly something like that. Thanks for the explanation.

      its because common Indians (mostly people in small towns/villages) cant pronounce "restaurant". They find Hotel easy to pronounce.

    Some good tips here, my wife and I just spent the last 6 months in India and we averaged $25 a day between us. Its a great place to travel and are going back for another 4 months after spending this month in Nepal.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos

      Right on, that's awesome. Which places in India are you planning to go to?

    • @damiansciberras
      @damiansciberras 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      We have already visited Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, the Andaman Islands, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Kashmir. Next we plan to go to Sikkim, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Punjab. We are also hoping to come back to visit Kerala next year before moving onto South East Asia.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Sounds awesome. Sikkim and Darjeeling are on my list for the next time. Uttarakhand is definitely one of the best areas of India and not very touristy. Mostly people just go to Rishikesh, which is great, but there's so much more to see in the Himalayas further north. An epic journey is to go from Rishikesh to Almora, or vice versa. So brilliant and you will see very few foreign tourists.

      @damiansciberras 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Best option for internet access is buying a dongle for your travels If internet is that important get the dongle, dongles range from 700Rs - 1500Rs depending upon plans and data. I used to get a dongle for Rs750 which lasted 3 months 7gb highspeed + unlimited low speed data per month.

      Gabriel Traveler I am considering between Kerala India or Cairo Egypt but I have a question regarding india I am a college student and am wondering how I could find a cheap ticket I live in Houston tx so it's nearly impossible, but do they offer discounts to college students just wondering

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There isn't a college student discount that I'm aware of. Just search lots of different websites and try different dates. Check skyscanner and use their feature where you can search for a whole month at a time. Flying that far around the world is likely going to cost but sometimes you can find some amazing deals.

    • @YetAnotherVisaRun
      @YetAnotherVisaRun 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Biochemp33, You might want to check out the company STA Travel. They offer travel discounts to college students. Not sure what the requirements are, but it's worth looking into. ;-)

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes good tip. I think I used them for my first flight to Europe. Not that they will necessarily have the cheapest flights, sometimes it's just a matter of luck finding a great deal based on the date and your departure and destination points.

      Stay at costly hotels not the once for 10$ and if possible stay with some Indian friends....
      AND YOU won't get toilet paper everywhere.
      Do some research about the places locality where you are residing and do ask your Indian friends about all this stuff. If don't have a few make a few.

      You need a valid passport and also a visa for India. It's a long, complicated process unfortunately. The good news is that Americans can get a 10-year multiple-entry visa easily. You can then use it for six months at a time whenever you want over the course of ten years. Or you can just get the standard six-month visa. Also there's the 30-day e-visa which you apply for online and then you don't have to mail your passport. For the longer visas you have to mail your passport to an Indian embassy with the appropriate paperwork and documents. See this video for more info:

    Budget can be less if you not use laundry services. also eat local fruits/drink/dishes.
    expenses should be
    accommodation 400-500 INR (for couple 200-250 per head).
    Food 150-200 (local budget breakfast lunch dinner)
    local transport 50-70 maximum (to cover 2-3 tourist places)
    Other miscellaneous 100 maximum (such as shopping, internet if not available free, entry charges, mobile etc)
    Ideal budget should be 700-800 INR (12-14$/day)

    Do you carry cellphone/camera/computer with you everywhere? Is it safe to leave such things in the average hotel room?

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I leave most valuables in the room. I've never had a room broken into. Of course it can happen but you have to leave your valuables somewhere and I prefer not to carry everything with me all the time. Usually I go out with just some local currency, and of course my cameras since I'm filming and also my cell phone. But computer, wallet, passport, etc. I leave in the room.

      For this video I used my Iconntechs 4k ultra HD Action camera. They're super cheap too, check them out, you should be able to buy them online. Have an awesome time in Tenerife! And if you get the chance check out some of the other nearby islands too because they sounded pretty nice.

      Gabriel Traveler just checked them out on amazon dude there very cheap like you say it looks like a go pro so I'm guessing u can film under water with it only trouble I have is I have no laptop to upload videos to can I not upload them from the camara to my smart phone

  • @ropersix
    @ropersix 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    What's your process for finding a room like that in a smaller city these days? From what I've seen, websites like Agoda.com, etc, mostly have more expensive hotels. But I haven't been to any smaller towns recently, so maybe I'm wrong about that (things are always changing). The old way was to just show up and walk around til you found something.

    • @devdev4509
      @devdev4509 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Timothy Roper I may tell you certainly this man making lot of efforts in finding a budget bang for buck room.Even in Indian online booking portals these rooms don't get much place let him keep the good work going .

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's why in India I don't generally book online ahead of time, because the budget places don't tend to advertise online. I haven't booked a room online this whole trip to India, I just show up and check things out. However if I go to a larger city then I will probably book ahead of time to avoid wandering all over the place with my backpack. But then again maybe not, because you can also tell the rickshaw driver to take you to a hotel and tell them a price range and they usually know something off hand that works out pretty good.

      Aren't you concerned that the dairy products you consumed might not be pasteurized? Also, did they wash your clothes by hand?

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is my 7th time to India and I've spent 20 months altogether traveling all over the country. I've eaten everything, fruit salads, regular salads, street food, meat, dairy, eggs, etc. and never had any real stomach problems. So it's not a concern for me. I'm not sure how they washed the clothes, I didn't ask. It's possible they washed it in that lake that I showed in another video. Or maybe it was by machine. But they came back dried, folded and in perfect condition. I was actually going to get a quick clip of the clothes the next day to show how great they turned out but I forgot.

      I don't walk around with my passport but I do have a copy in my day pack. I leave my passport locked in the room and hope for the best. Never had a room broken into. In India I mostly stay places where I can put my own lock on the door so that no one else can get in.

    To be perfectly honest, I like you and your videos so much that I give you a like even before i’ve watched anything. Ps. Jaggery or Gurr/ghorr is pure sugarcane sugar that has crystalised. It’s normally soft enough to shave or cut with a knife but not as soft as a hard cheese.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos
      @GabrielTravelerVideos  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      In this case I knew about the hotel because I'd stayed there before, so I just showed up and asked if they had rooms available. Mostly in India I end up showing up at a place and looking around, if they're smaller towns or villages, but in larger cities and in most other places I travel I book online ahead of time.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos

      I'm not sure actually. Maybe a shower so you could wash off after going in the sea? (Except for the fact it says no swimming.) I would never plan to take a bath or shower at one of those places. Toilet if necessary.

    Rule of Thumb in Indian Food: Never mix everything at once.. It should always be try eating with each curry/sambar/subgy .. For Chapatis use the thick gravy & dry frys , for Rice use bit liquidy gravy , sambar, subgy ... but always try with one item at a time.. never mix all the ingredients .. that is rude in some places...

      Because of drownings. At Kudle beach there was actually a sign showing photos of different people lying on the beach who had drowned there. Pretty sad. I think maybe Indians don't always know how to swim, so they're trying to make the point to be extra careful, but not actually enforcing the no swimming.
